Ptolomy the Tortoise . . .

Staying with my friends in Silverdale for a couple of days. Ann has mourned over the lost of so many pets over the years, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hens, goats that she's decided she needs a pet which won't die before her - hopefully! So, she bought Ptolomy a couple of years ago, he's now 4 years old and has grown from the size of a mince pie to what you see here! Not the most rewarding of pets, but very long lived!

She does still have a dog and a cat too . . . well, you can't really stroke or walk a tortoise!
